The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1565-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2019-15133: Fixed a divide-by-zero exception in the decoder function DGifSlurp in dgif_lib.c if the     height field of the ImageSize data structure is equal to zero (bsc#1146299).
    - CVE-2018-11490: Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c     (bsc#1094832).
    - CVE-2016-3977: Fixed a heap buffer overflow in gif2rgb (bsc#974847).

    Update to version 5.2.1
      * In gifbuild.c, avoid a core dump on no color map.
      * Restore inadvertently removed library version numbers in Makefile.

    Changes in version 5.2.0
      * The undocumented and deprecated GifQuantizeBuffer() entry point         has been moved to the util library to reduce libgif size and attack         surface. Applications needing this function are couraged to link the         util library or make their own copy.
      * The following obsolete utility programs are no longer installed:
        gifecho, giffilter, gifinto, gifsponge. These were either installed in         error or have been obsolesced by modern image-transformmation tools         like ImageMagick convert. They may be removed entirely in a future         release.
      * Address SourceForge issue #136: Stack-buffer-overflow in gifcolor.c:84
      * Address SF bug #134: Giflib fails to slurp significant number of gifs
      * Apply SPDX convention for license tagging.

    Changes in version 5.1.9

      * Address SF bug #129: The latest version of giflib cannot be build on windows.
      * Address SF bug #126: Cannot compile giflib using c89

    Changes in version 5.1.8
      * Address SF bug #119: MemorySanitizer: FPE on unknown address (CVE-2019-15133 bsc#1146299)

      * Address SF bug #120: 5.1.7 does not build a proper library - no

    Changes in version 5.1.7
      * Correct a minor packaging error (superfluous symlinks) in the 5.1.6 tarballs.

    Changes in version 5.1.6
      * Fix library installation in the Makefile.

    Changes in version 5.1.5
      * Fix SF bug #114: Null dereferences in main() of gifclrmp
      * Fix SF bug #113: Heap Buffer Overflow-2 in function DGifDecompressLine()         in cgif.c.  This had been assigned (CVE-2018-11490 bsc#1094832).
      * Fix SF bug #111: segmentation fault in PrintCodeBlock
      * Fix SF bug #109: Segmentation fault of giftool reading a crafted file

      * Fix SF bug #105: heap buffer overflow in DumpScreen2RGB in gif2rgb.c:317
      * Fix SF bug #104: Ineffective bounds check in DGifSlurp
      * Fix SF bug #103: GIFLIB 5.1.4: DGifSlurp fails on empty comment
      * Fix SF bug #87: Heap buffer overflow in 5.1.2 (gif2rgb). (CVE-2016-3977 bsc#974847)
      * The horrible old autoconf build system has been removed with extreme prejudice.
        You now build this simply by running 'make' from the top-level directory.

    Package        : giflib     Version        : 5.1.4-3+deb10u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2018-11490 CVE-2019-15133     Debian Bug     : 904114

    This update fixes two file format vulnerabilities in giflib.

    CVE-2018-11490

        The DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c, as later shipped in         cgif.c in sam2p 0.49.4, has a heap-based buffer overflow because a         certain Private->RunningCode - 2 array index is not checked.  This         will lead to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other         impact.

    CVE-2019-15133

        A malformed GIF file triggers a divide-by-zero exception in the         decoder function DGifSlurp in dgif_lib.c if the height field of the         ImageSize data structure is equal to zero.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     5.1.4-3+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your giflib packages.
